On linearization of the stiffness characteristics of flexible beams made of physically nonlinear materials

Abstract: The geometry of flexible beams that are made of a physically nonlinear material and have a nearly linear load-deflection characteristic is identified for a wide range of monotonic and harmonic loads. The geometrically nonlinear beam equations are used. The physically nonlinear behavior of the material is described using a unified viscoplastic theory. A beam thickness criterion is formulated to provide nearly linear stiffness characteristic of the beam in the case of significant deflections and physically nonli… Show more

“…response [17]. Under some circumstances, the geometrical nonlinearity has to be taken into account as well [12,18]. With these added complications, the correct prediction and simulation of complex dynamic and quasi-static processes in thin-wall inelastic passive and active members taking account of electromechanical coupling is still a challenge.…”
